Discuss the fun task of marketing a t-shirt shop. Where to advertise, link building, word of mouth, press releases, search engine marketing, keyword advertising, magazines, etc.
I put up a You Tube ad a while back. Just a really really bad 43 second thinger using still photos and a Shirley BAssey song. "Jezahel".
I just wanted to try to put something up. It took me about ten minutes in iMovie. Don't think it's helped a bit, but in the New year, I want to start a regular thing on You Tube.
It's a great venue to build a narrative about a product. Episodes/Webisodes that people may or may not follow. Anyvenue that gets as many hits as You Tube, and is free, is a great marketing tool.
That, and getting Dane Cook wearing your shirts!

My youtube videos are getting a lot of hits, at least for me. They are the same as I use on my site and the forum. I am not getting business but I think the fact that my name is out there helps my sites. I have people subscribing to them which is a plus. Nice to have groupies.. I still have some that I want to do, namely vinyl cutting and pressing. I have had request to do some for another company but I am waiting for supplies and ideas from them.I might do on for my blackdragon.com site and make commercial and see what happens. I found Josh on youtube just playing around. I am learning my movie making software so I hope to get better. As some of you know by now my theme is marketing yourself anyplace you can. So why not Youtube.
I noticed the t-qualizer folks doing some good marketing via youtube. Their product really lends itself for videos. They are finding that their customers are uploading videos of their shirts to youtube to show them off.
The shirt is pretty darn. I had fun making a video with it:

cool Rodney.
i had no idea that others aside from one of the members here were selling/making the shirt.
you got me all exited so i pulled out my Cannon digital camera (brand new never used) and im ready to venture off into a Film Career. lol
I guess i'll go over to my neighbours here in Caladon Ontario and see what tips Norm Jewison and Tom Cruise can give me. Better yet I will see if Lou has some free time.
when i logged on to your video there were other listings from balfish or something like that... du-no what that is, just assuming they make it too ? not sure really.
Ok, my youtube acc. is setup (my favorite id was taken ),
here is the Camera from Cannon, is this one OK ? it comes with editing software but Im totally lost with this stuff.
I am using my wifes little digital Sony still camera that allows small videos. I have to piece the videos together but that is half the fun. I have had 8 people subscribe to my videos this last week on youtube. So I have a following. I even got a call from some guy in Virginia. another wrote that he wanted to know what the t-Shirt forum was all about. I am waiting to hear from a company that wants me to do some videos for their product but they have been sooooo busy they are trying to get me the stuff to work with. I am also going to do a commercial for one of my retail web sites. I wrote a friend who is retired from the industry and was an acting buddy back in the 60's who actually had his own show and worked with a famous ventriloquist that I finally got an acting job as well as writing, directing, producing, editing and camera operator. His comment was, see I told you it takes time.. By the way anyone here every watch Winchell Mohoney Time back in the 60's. Oh, yeah, you guys weren't born yet.
I am planning on using YouTube to make like fun little commercials for MySpace and my website. Video and editing is something I enjoy doing on the side and is a fun way to get creative.
Is YouTube a Marketing Venue for you ?
